Next Door Neighbors

1974-1975… back then I lived next door to a house full of members of the Society for Creative Anachronism or “the medieval people” as they were known in our Philly neighborhood. Bishop Bob, his Lady, their serf and the Wizard on the third floor. Lots of swordplay in the backyard. Interesting times. They cooked some nasty smelling gruel too.

About twenty yeas later I would get to know someone who was also in the SCA but found that out about him another ten years after working with him. It turns out he knew Bishop Bob from next door back in the day.
